I am going to try to get this roadster kit running again. It appears to be a Classic Roadster designed replica of a 1939 Jaguar SS100. These were advertised as a "Duke" kit.
Right now it is in storage in Arkansas, so first task is to get it running well enough to drive to Texas, or get it to Texas non-running.
Interior:
We think it has a Toyota 6R 1.7L straight 4 engine [later in the thread we discover it has a 1770cc (1.8L) 3TC engine]
Previous seller noted it had a rebuilt carburetor in 2007.
It was running, but the theory is the fuel pump needs replacement. Likely needs drain and refill the gas, pump up the tires, and other 'get it going after sitting' things.
It also sits too low, and it has some odd exhaust tagged on that hangs too low.
From what I have read it likely weighs under 2,200 lbs, although info on these is pretty sketchy. I would love to get my hands on a full set of assembly instructions.

I hope to get it running and keep it as a weekend / errand car.
